Having fun with long endurance fixed wing drones and shooting troubles with Oliver today in our field office in Florida. Open landing spots such as this one, are very rare in cities like #Accra, #Nairobi, #Kigali, #Cotonou.... #continousproductimprovements

One of the best encounters for me at the #AfricanDroneForum in Kigali was meeting Bornlove Ntikha from Tanzania. Styrofoam, bamboo, #Pixhawk and the mindset of a problem solver. Indeed, Africa should be mapped by Africans! You go Bornlove! x.com/WVol_/status/122606923…

What a pleasure to be shown by the Director of Survey and Mapping in Ghana one of 120 maps that are being produced by the team we trained and equipped with support from the @OmidyarNetwork. This is the beginning of self sufficient cadastral surveying with drones in Ghana!

Self-sufficient from solder to #pixel, #landsurveyors from Survey and Mapping Division of #Ghana at work. They build and use #drones, then they make maps of fields and #landparcels. Confidence is key to local innovation. Trained and equipped with support from #OmidyarNetwork.
